"Trump's usual sexist sneers don't work against Harris--and to top it off, she's laughing at him" —The Guardian, August 1, 2024
Don't need writers, don't need wits,
I'll just play my greatest hits:
Sexist jibes, election fables—
Hold on, Harris turned the tables?
Days ago my name was feared,
Now she stoops to call me weird?
No decorum; downright shocking;
Nasty woman—so much mocking!
